In the latest development, anatomy students at La Trobe University in Australia are using augmented and virtual reality in classrooms to help boost spatial awareness, accessibility and explorative learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Augmented reality (AR) provides 24-hour access of three-dimensional anatomy images to students on their phones, computers and\/or iPads. Furthermore, on-campus headsets provide them access to virtual reality technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Augmented reality allows students to visualise and manipulate anatomical structures and develop a deep understanding,\u2019 says Aaron&nbsp; McDonald, head of anatomy discipline at La Trobe. \u2018You can superimpose anatomical structures over a peer who can perform movements along with the app to better understand muscle function,\u2019 he adds. \u2018It is a great resource for both teamwork and self-directed learning.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, AR technology is quite cost-effective. It costs the university 10 AUD per student in comparison to over 100 AUD spent by them on one textbook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Image source:<a href=\"https:\/\/haptic.al\/how-virtual-reality-increase-motivation-and-collaboration-in-the-classroom-141e807e93c7\">https:\/\/haptic.al\/how-virtual-reality-increase-motivation-and-collaboration-in-the-classroom-141e807e93c7<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>News source:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2019\/10\/08\/anatomy-students-are-using-virtual-and-augmented-reality-to-learn.html\">https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2019\/10\/08\/anatomy-students-are-using-virtual-and-augmented-reality-to-learn.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Due to the evolution of technology in the education sector, computers and tablets have become a common sight in classrooms and libraries nowadays.
